Abstract: Rate of turn indicator for a nautical vessel, aircraft and the like indicating the rate of turn or swing in units such as degrees per unit of time from a particular course of travel.. Field of the Invention. The present invention relates to a navigational aid or nautical instrument, and more particularly, pertains to a rate of turn indicator for indicating the rate of turn from a course of travel for a vessel or other like vehicle.
At a given airspeed, the rate at which an airplane turns depends upon the magnitude of the horizontal component of lift. It will be found that the horizontal component of lift is proportional to the angle of bank; that is, it increases or decreases respectively as the angle of bank increases or decreases.
